Initiated by the Greater Barrie Chamber of Commerce and the City of Barrie in 2003, the Barrie Business Awards program recognizes the contribution of local businesses to the continued growth and success of our community. Each year the program begins with a call for nominations in April, nominees are interviewed throughout the summer, the panel of judges meets in September, and finalists are announced in October. The awards are presented in November, during a gala that has come to be known as Barrie's premier business networking event. The list of previous award recipients and finalists is impressive; Barrie residents should be proud to have such diverse and compassionate businesses within their community.
